Scientists discovered five new compounds, parispolyosides A, E, and B-D, from the rhizome of Paris polyphylla var. chinensis. These compounds showed potential inhibitory effects on NO production and HepG2 cells. Molecular docking analysis suggested their mechanism of action on iNOS protein.
Scientists investigated the antidepressant effects of Pterocarpus santalinus L. essential oil (PSEO) in socially stressed mice. The study aims to discover the mechanisms and components of PSEO and its potential use in treating depression.
This study explores the anti-inflammatory properties of Anacardium occidentale (cashew) extracts. Different extraction techniques and compounds were analyzed. Results demonstrate that these extracts have potential as anti-inflammatory agents without adverse effects on cells, highlighting their therapeutic potential for drug development.
This study evaluated the chemical composition and antioxidant potential of different linseed cultivars. Growing conditions and cultivar choice significantly influenced the composition and content of bioactive compounds, such as lignans. Understanding these factors can help maximize the nutritional and medicinal properties of linseed.
This study analyzed various monofloral bee pollen samples for their palynological analysis, antioxidant activity, phenolic profiles, and color. Different species had varying phenolic compositions and higher levels of TPC and antioxidant activity. This helps authenticate and ensure the quality of bee pollen products for the food industry.
This study analyzed the chemical diversity of commercially available hibiscus products. It identified major compounds and variations in the market. These findings are important for quality control, authentication, and standardization of natural products.
